Here Goes
The Rat Pack Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here goes - baby here goes
Every worry, every fear goes
Every dull day in the year goes
I'm about to fall in love

Here goes - yes sir, here goes
Every sky that isn't clear goes
Every sigh that's insincere goes
'Cause it's you I'm dreamin' of

Looks like I've been sold out
Can't fight off the charms
I just couldn't hold out
It's cold out of your arms

Here goes - get the rice out
Get the trip to - paradise out
Sweep that stairway - through the airway up above
Here goes - baby here goes

Someone ready for love
Here goes - brush that grin off
Brush that endless - bobby pin off
And the biscuits - that chagrin off

I'm about to fall in love
Here goes - get the fights out
And the quarrel - over nights out
And the patch up - when the lights out

That is all I'm dreaming of
Looks like I've been taken
Shaken off the tree
Looks like you'll be makin'

The bacon just for me
Here goes - get the rice out
Get the trip to - paradise out
Sweep that stairway - through the airway up above





Here goes - here goes
Here goes someone - someone who's really in love

Overall Meaning

The Rat Pack's song, Here Goes, is a classic love song about falling in love. The lyrics depict someone who is ready to take the leap into love, and every worry, fear, and dull day disappears when they think about the person they are falling for. The phrase "Here goes" repeats throughout the song, acting as a representation of diving into the unknown territory of love. The lyrics also describe the feeling of being unable to resist the charm of the person they are falling for and how all the previous fights and quarrels are forgotten. The singer knows they are about to fall deeply in love with someone who reciprocates their feelings, and the phrase "someone who's really in love" suggests that love has been elusive until now.


In terms of musicality, the Rat Pack's delivery is smooth and effortless, with their signature swing style and captivating harmonies. The melody and lyrics work together to create a romantic atmosphere, and Frank Sinatra's voice particularly adds poignancy to the lyrics. Overall, the song does justice to the idea of surrendering oneself to the overwhelming feeling of falling in love.

An instrumental version of this tune was released on an Otto Cesana album; as such it was titled "Hi!" and was used for many years as the theme for New York station WOR-TV's "Movie 9," per: watch?v=ywT3w8YuTZ4
